Provides an easily accessible reference volume for state-of-the-art experimentation by leading researchers in the fieldCovers a wide range of approaches for the isolation and characterization of macrophages and dendritic cellsProvides detailed step-by-step protocols to modify gene expression in cells that are notoriously resistant to genetic manipulationProvides approaches for detailed quantitative functional analyses including activation states and lipid signalingIncludes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

In light of the critical contributions of macrophages and dendritic cells to diverse inflammatory diseases and to immunity and host defense, state-of-the-art approaches to the investigation of their behavior are essential. In Macrophages and Dendritic Cells: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers contribute laboratory protocols involving these two vital cell types functioning at the junction of the innate and acquired immune systems. The volume delves first into isolation and cell culturing then continues with topics such as phagocytosis, genetic manipulation, macrophage activation, and lipid signaling. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology¿ series format, chapters include brief introductions to their respective subjects, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Macrophages and Dendritic Cells: Methods and Protocols provides a timely and useful guide for both seasoned investigators and neophytes pursuing this imperative field of study.
